Living
Now on My Faith This Gear Is All Entangled
From Songs from the Waverley Novels (Poetical Works, Oxford 1904)
Living
Now on my faith this gear is all entangled,
Like to the yarn-clew of the drowsy knitter,
Dragg'd by the frolic kitten through the cabin,
While the good dame sits nodding o'er the fire.
Masters, attend ; 'twill crave some skill to clear it.
